Design and Commissioning of Readout Electronics for a $K_L^0$ and $μ$ Detector at the Belle II Experiment

The K-long and muon detector (KLM) constitutes the outer-most volume of the Belle II spectrometer at the interaction region of the SuperKEKB collider in Tsukuba, Japan. The KLM detector was partially upgraded since the Belle experiment by replacing many of its resistive-plate chambers with scintillators containing wavelength-shifting fibers and instrumenting it with silicon photomultipliers. We describe the readout electronics, firmware, and software created to control and acquire data from the scintillators and resistive-plate chambers.

Superfactory of bottomed hadrons Belle II

In 2018 the Belle II experiment, aimed at detailed studies of B-mesons, started operation at the electron-positron collider SuperKEKB at KEK (Japan). This was preceded by a long and quite successful work of the B-factories of previous generations, including the Belle experiment for which Belle II is a successor. This experiment is unique and has no analogues or competitors in the world. The spectrum of problems it is aimed at is quite broad: from studies of hadronic states containing heavy quarks to precision measurements and searches for New Physics beyond the Standard Model. This review describes specific features of the Belle II experiment, its ambitious goals and specific tasks, expected results of its work and the hopes related to its successful accomplishment.
